Chapter 377 The Joy of Raising Snakes



Some snakes are difficult to spot, and if you're not very observant, you might get bitten if you pass by them.

Therefore, to catch a snake you need to be extremely careful and have sharp eyes.

After such a period of time, Zhu Laopi's eyes have been trained to be very sharp. He can find snakes immediately with just a glance, as if he has installed a radar.

The five-step snake always hides in piles of soil or dead leaves that are similar in color to itself, and is quite difficult to find.

Zhu Lao Pi was very accurate in his grabbing and hit the snake's weak spot with skill. Soon the snake collapsed to the ground and didn't move.

He picked up the snake with tongs and put it into the bamboo basket.

Of course, he didn't let other snakes go. After doing this for a while, he even had some experience about which snakes were tasty. He didn't bother to deal with those snakes that were not tasty and were ferocious.

Because he had experience in dealing with snakes, Zhu Laopi was quick-eyed and quick-handed when he saw hares and pheasants running by on the road, and knocked them out in one go.

So his family often ate meat, and as a result, their lives became more than one or two times better.

There are fewer snakes after summer, so Zhu Laopi takes advantage of these summer months to catch snakes every day with great enthusiasm.

During the summer vacation, Zhu Laopi rented an unoccupied house, put a bunch of cages in it and raised snakes.

There were snake eggs everywhere in the fields and roadsides of the village. Zhu Laopi would pick up the eggs and put them in cages to hatch baby snakes. After raising the snakes, he would kill them to eat their meat and remove their gallbladders, or he would beat the snakes to death and sell them to pharmacies.

If they earn more money, most people will improve their lives.

Not long after, Zhu Laopi's wife and children had new clothes, and the children had snacks. The whole family was full of energy. The children went to the canteen to buy snacks every day, which made other children envious.

The little red stars can be used as money, but they have to be saved little by little. Of course, you can't get whatever you want.

Rich kids can buy whatever they want!

Originally, everyone laughed at the Zhu family's children and called them little snakemen.

The Zhu family child was not at all guilty or inferior. He put his hands on his hips and said loudly and confidently:

"I have money to buy snacks and wear new clothes every day. Do you have money?"

Sometimes the momentum just ebbs and flows. When the Zhu family's children act so confidently, the other children start to feel guilty.

Because they really envy the life of being able to buy whatever they want.

The Zhu family kid was quite shrewd. "If anyone scolds me, I won't play with him. If anyone praises me, I'll give you some snacks!"

Although the children are ignorant, they know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Why not do things that are beneficial to themselves? Naturally, everyone praised the Zhu family's children.

Now that there are people raising snakes in the village, everyone can buy snake meat regularly, so naturally no one will take the risk of catching snakes.

Wan Qingliu no longer needed to find excuses to explain the source of the snake meat. He simply took the snake out of the space without asking any questions from his family.

In short, just eat it.

During summer vacation, many children start to cut Miscanthus ears. The brooms made from Miscanthus ears are very soft and very effective in sweeping dust.

They tied the Miscanthus ears into brooms at home and took them to the county to sell them at fifty cents a broom, making several dollars a day.

Now, basically every household in Dafang Village has become well-off and is no longer greedy for the money their children earn. Whatever the children earn should be used as pocket money.

As usual, Hua Wanchi left some homework for the children and went to Beijing to play with her parents and grandmother.

Little Youzi was so excited when she knew her sister was coming!

Every day he would cry out in the yard, asking if his sister had come, and would stand at the door waiting anxiously.

Hua Qingping's yard is bustling every day.

One is that Wang Jingxia was teaching her students martial arts, and she was afraid of disturbing others outside, so she practiced boxing in horse stance in her own yard.

The second reason is that Xiao Youzi is always good at encouraging others to study, and parents around her like to send their children to her for supervision.

So every day the children are chattering in the yard, it is quite lively.

He Shuiping practiced with Wang Jingxia for a while. Every day when she went out for a walk, she found that there were many people singing and practicing Tai Chi in the open space outside.

So she made a suggestion: go outside and practice boxing, and it would be best if you can do it neatly and beautifully!

Wang Jingxia listened very well to the advice and took her students out to practice boxing every now and then. Her boxing moves were beautiful and neat, with great momentum and powerful hands and feet.

The people watching around applauded.

An old lady said, "This is good. It helps you exercise and strengthen your body. This is a good thing for children to learn!"

Another old man asked directly: "Girl, can I send my grandson to learn boxing from you?"

Wang Jingxia smiled and said, "Uncle, to be honest, what I teach here are real skills, and I charge tuition. But you can send your child here to try it for a week. If you like it, you can pay me to continue learning."

The old man said happily, "That's fine. Please leave me your address and I'll bring my grandson to your house someday."

Another old lady nearby asked, "How much do you charge?"

Wang Jingxia said, "I'll charge a one-time fee to teach your child all my skills. It's 80 yuan in total, and it'll probably take a year or two to learn. That works out to less than ten cents a day. Isn't it a good deal?"

80 yuan is something that most people here can really afford. To be honest, even if you don’t learn any skills, it’s worth it just to exercise your body.

Immediately, more than ten people came to Wang Jingxia to sign up.

It doesn’t cost any money for now, so just try it for a week and see.

He Shuiping's idea attracted a lot of students to Wang Jingxia, who immediately admired her.

"Shui Ping, you found these students for me. I'll give you some money after I receive the tuition."

He Shuiping smiled and waved her hands: "Hey, sister, why are you still telling me all this? You asked me to live here for free, and you didn't even ask for my water, electricity, and tuition. It's only natural that I should help you with something."

The 80 yuan tuition fee was not a big deal for He Shuiping, but the free tuition also saved her a lot of money. Besides, she got free accommodation, free water and free electricity, which added up to a lot more.

The only thing she had to spend money on was food, but since she was eating alone, it didn't cost her much.

She only spent a little of the money she had, and most of it is still there.

Wan Qingliu and Hua Xuguo brought Hua Wanchi to Beijing City. This time, Hua Wanchi distributed a lot of dried meat to the children around them.

Life is better now than it was ten years ago, but we can’t always eat meat!

When she came, she brought a big bag of dried meat. Which child wouldn’t be happy?

A group of little kids quickly surrounded Hua Wanchi and sweetly called her "sister".

Although there was He Shuiping in the courtyard, the place was still very spacious.

Wang Jingxia and her husband lived in the main house, the children lived in the east wing, Hua Xuguo and his wife and Wan Qingliu lived in the west wing. This one yard was enough for the whole family.

As a result, Wan Qingliu brought more than ten cans of honey and tea.

Wang Jingxia and her husband usually make their fortune by selling this.

This time, they can sell again.
